02 2500HD Brakes Pulling

[0216HD]

Very subtle left pull on initial brake application. Rotors,pads and calipers replaced. No change. Flex lines to calipers look good but going to replace right side today. Anyone encounter this problem before ?

I would personally replace the lines in pairs and not just one side at a time.

 

Did you replace the brakes all the way around or just the front? I suppose it's possible the rear calipers could be a cause too if you haven't touched those.

I agree with replacing both and will go back to the left once I've found the cause. I''m just starting with the suspect line on  the right. The pull does not continue after initial braking and as far as  the rear brakes, no I did not replace those. I did remove wheels and inspect but found nothing to indicate a problem.

When you pressed the calipers back in did it give you any resistance on either side?

If you put the vehicle in the air, roll the wheel and press the brake see if it hold on both sides. This will give you a better idea of where it is. 

If the lines don't fix it, If it were me I would get a semi loaded set of calipers since they are inexpensive and replace them.

carnue, rotors, pads and calipers all new. Right side was harder to retract so hence the caliper replacement. Had time this morning to get back to it. Replaced flex hose, right side and as hoped it corrected to pull. I suppose if I had waited for the hose to collapse further it might have been less of a mystery. Matched up the left side with a new flex hose as well. 

Thanks for the feedback. Hope this thread helps someone else down the road.
